About this study

Predicting the outcome of pituitary surgery, particularly the risk of complications, is a critical determinant in selecting the appropriate treatment modality for patients. To date, only a limited number of risk factors have been identified for complications following pituitary surgery, including tumor size, younger age, and previous surgical intervention. Furthermore, existing studies have demonstrated that prolactin levels can serve as a surrogate marker for assessing pituitary function, specifically revealing associations between elevated prolactin levels and anterior pituitary insufficiencies.

In a retrospective study on the "HYP'OP" cohort, the aim of the study is to identify predictive factors for both surgical outcomes and complications.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Hyp'Op CohortThe 'HYP'OP' cohort comprises patients who underwent endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES) for pituitary adenoma during a 10-year period spanning from January 2012 to June 2022 at the Nancy University Hospital. Post-operative hospitalization in our endocrinology department is part of the standard care protocol, which also includes a systematic reevaluation 4 -6 months following the surgical intervention.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Risk factors associated with complications

    Risk factors associated with complications arising from surgery, specifically targeting the incidence of de-novo, clinically significant pituitary insufficiencies

    Measured: Within 6 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Factors predictive of the 'success' of surgery

    Patients were stratified into groups based on surgical indications. The first group consisted of non-secreting, non-compressive adenomas without preoperative insufficiency or hyperprolactinemia, with success defined as absence of new insufficiency and no MRI-detected residual tissue. The second group was similar to the first but included disconnection hyperprolactinemia, and success was defined by the absence of new insufficiency and hyperprolactinemia regression. The third group involved non-secreting adenomas with at least one preoperative axis deficiency, irrespective of hyperprolactinemia, with success defined as restoration of at least one deficient axis without new insufficiency. The fourth group included secreting adenomas, with success defined as hypersecretion regression. The fifth group involved adenomas operated on for their compressive effect on the optic pathways, with or without hyperprolactinemia, and success was defined as no compression observed on follow-up MRI.

    Measured: Within 6 months after surgery

  2. Is immediate postoperative hypoprolactinemia predictive of the onset of a new, clinically significant hormonal insufficiency?

    patients were stratified into four groups based on immediate postoperative prolactin levels: Group 1 consisted of severe hypoprolactinemia; Group 2 included moderate hypoprolactinemia; Group 3 involved normal prolactin levels, defined by prolactin levels between 5 and 20 ng/ml; and Group 4 comprised hyperprolactinemia, defined by prolactin levels > 20 ng/ml. It should be noted that these instances of hyperprolactinemia are theoretically all disconnection hyperprolactinemias, as patients with lactotroph adenomas were excluded from this analysis. Patients under treatment for hyperprolactinemia were also excluded.

    Measured: Within 6 months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pituitary Adenoma and Surgery-Complications, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Risk factors associated with complications (time frame: Within 6 months after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06053437, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Sep 2023.
